A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent

And oh, just like the river I

I've been running ever since

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know a change's gonna come

Oh yes, it will

It's been too hard living

But I'm afraid to die

'Cause I don't know what's up there no, no

Beyond the sky

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh yes, it will

Then I go to my brother

I said brother, help me please

But he winds up knocking me down

I got to go to my knees

Oh, there's been times that I thought

I wouldn't last for long

But I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Keep it right there
